Debi,

Hello cousin. Mclin or Maclin and Nancy Southard were my great great great grandparents. There daughter Luiza married my GGF William Key or Kee of McMinn Co. TN. in around 1840. Gillam Southard was a neighbor. They were married in White Co. TN and the whole bunch migrated via oxen train to Dallas Co. Mo. in 1843.

But you are looking for stuff DAR information so let me give you the following email address: d.szasz@attbi.com. She can give you much information regarding Southards that fought in the Revolutionary War.

Regards,
Richard
